Review for Changes / Decisions Made:
The Executive Committee minutes of December 2, 2010 were accepted as presented.
Ms. Kastl asked if there were any questions regarding the staff reports. There were none.
Strategic Discussion
Control of Board and committee meetings costs – Ms. Kastl introduced the item and suggested that it
might be framed in a more positive manner if the discussion focused on how more Members might have
access to Board and committee meetings. There exists the possibility of a closer connection to those
Members who would like be more involved but cannot afford the time or expense that will allow them to
to attend meetings. Following a wide-ranging discussion Ms. Kastl indicated that this discussion was to
provide some thoughts prior to the Board’s discussion tomorrow.
Unfinished Business:
Review of EVP Succession Policy – Ms. Kastl indicated that since the policy has recently been enacted
and that it was appropriate for an in-depth review to see if any changes needed to be made based on
the recent use. There were no suggested changes.
New Business:
2011-2012 Meeting Schedule – The Committee reviewed the proposed meeting schedule for 2011-2012
and there was consensus to recommend the proposed 2011-2012 meeting schedule to the Board for
adoption.
